A wiki for foresight students, grads, professionals, and advocates!

This wiki is apublic directory of the world's best foresight resources, compiled for your benefit.

It lists communities, degree programs, courses, people, employers, organizations, and educational materials that help advance our global foresight culture. It can be edited by any future-oriented person who wants to help. Email us if you'd like to apply for editing access. It is maintained by FERN, volunteer students, alums and advocates of improving foresight and supporting the graduate andcertificate programs in foresightaround the world. We also run a social network,Global Foresight @ LinkedIn, 4,000+ members, join us! If you are a foresight advocate, consider joining any of the foresight communities listed here, and enjoy the pages below!

Our major project at present isThe Foresight Guide, a free online 14 chapter, 600-page guide to the emerging field of foresight, produced in collaboration with Foresight University. Each page is publicly commentable, and we look forward to your feedback, either publicly or by private email. The Guide explains the difference between futurists (a few folks, those who speak publicly to others about the future) and foresighters (a much larger and generally more impactful community). It also describes career options in strategic foresight, and offers some big picture models and stories about the 21st century. It is written for students, entrepreneurs and the global foresight practitioner community.

Most of the Guide is now online. When it is complete (in 2017) we'll make an ebook and physical book at Amazon. We hope you enjoy it and please let us know what you think.

Events

Our most recent event was FERN's Foresight Careers conference, Washington, DC, April 12-14, 2013. A gathering of foresight students, grads, practitioners, and advocates from around the world. To raise the profile of our industry and advance our careers.
